NORTH SAILS CONSOLIDATES SAIL MANUFACTURING FACILITIES
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: Veronica Brown, 401-855-0945
November 17, 2008, (Milford, CT) - North Sails announced today that
their sail manufacturing facilities will be consolidated to help control
the rising costs of shipping and freight within North America. North's
Mississauga, Canada production and finishing loft will be closed
effective immediately. North's local sales office, also located in
Mississauga, will remain open with expanded sail care facilities.
"Due to the rising costs of materials and shipping, we felt
consolidating our manufacturing process will ultimately benefit our
customers by reducing production time and costs," said Gary Weisman,
president of North Sails. "Hundreds of sails built at our 3DL facility
in Minden, Nevada are sent to other North Sails locations to be finished
before they are shipped to our clients," explained Weisman. "We recently
expanded our 3DL facility and added a 10,000 square foot
state-of-the-art finishing floor, which allows more sails to be finished
in Minden, saving both time and money."
North Sails produces most of their thermo-molded (3DL) sails in Nevada
at a 120,000 square foot facility. North Sails also has sail production
and finishing facilities in Milford, CT and Stevensville, MD, which will
remain open and work loads will be increased due to the Mississauga
closing. "We will do everything we can to place our Mississauga
employees in other locations," concluded Weisman. "Our employees are
very talented and valuable, and we will make every effort to make sure
they have options within North Sails."
###
North Sails has become the worldwide leader in sailmaking through an
ongoing commitment to designing and building sails that are faster,
lighter and more long lasting than any other sails in the world. Whether
you race or cruise, North Sails is committed to designing and building
sails that can power you around your local harbor, race course, or
around the world. In 1992, North Sails introduced 3DL, a revolutionary
sailmaking technology that thermo-molds sails as a unitary membrane on a
full-sized three-dimensional mold. When performance matters, the choice
is clear. www.northsails.com.
